Now qualified under House Bill 218
I just qualified under this H.B. last Sunday. It took almost 3 hours to do so too. We had about 12 "retired" LEO's in the class including me. Course was almost identical to the Ohio Police Officer's Training Academy(OPOTA) course. System was based on points. No less than 80 out of 100 and you passed. I fired 100 rounds of .45cal personally and aced the course.
Now the only problem with being able to carry in any state is the fact that you are on your own. If you shoot somebody, you are by yourself. This means that you don't have your old department to fall back on for some protection or even your past training. It will be you and your lawyer up on the stand and you alone that gets sued. Any of the lawyers here want to be on "retainer" for me, just in case? 
Just FYI for those of you who are thinking about doing it.

I have not researched it fully but PLEA covers retired officers in that situation.

I think that is a good idea Goggles, and thanks for putting it up, but I have to wonder how long 20K criminal and 40K civil is going to last in a wrongful death suit.
I wish we could get nationwide CCW and tort reform, but I am afraid that is just pie in the sky.

There presently is no nationwide CCW, however, are not States obliged to honor CCW from another State if one is on Vacation or passin' through?

No. You may only carry in the states with which your home state has an existing reciprocity agreement or where you have a non-resident CCW. Laws on "travelling" vary from state to state and do not permit concealed carry on your person.
